How do I pass the values of my checkboxes with PHP to mySQL database?

Now the value in my database is just "Array". Because, well it is an array. It can see whether I checked at least one thing, or no things at all. If I don't check any checkboxes it returns nothing, if I check at least one thing it returns "Array".

I haven't worked with PHP before, and we didn't get any classes about this, but after a few days of trying I couldn't figure it out. enter image description here

<?php

// Show all errors (for educational purposes)
ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 0);

// Constanten (connectie-instellingen databank)
define('DB_HOST', '');
define('DB_USER', '');
define('DB_PASS', '');
define('DB_NAME', '');

date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Brussels');

// Verbinding maken met de databank
try {
    $db = new PDO('mysql:host=' . DB_HOST . ';dbname=' . DB_NAME . ';charset=utf8mb4', DB_USER, DB_PASS);
    $db->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
} catch (PDOException $e) {
    echo 'Verbindingsfout: ' . $e->getMessage();
    exit;
}

$name = isset($_POST['name']) ? (string)$_POST['name'] : '';
$message = isset($_POST['message']) ? (string)$_POST['message'] : '';
$found = isset($_POST['found']) ? (string)$_POST['found'] : '';
$msgName = '';
$msgMessage = '';

// form is sent: perform formchecking!
if (isset($_POST['btnSubmit'])) {

    $allOk = true;

    // name not empty
    if (trim($name) === '') {
        $msgName = 'Gelieve een naam in te voeren';
        $allOk = false;
    }

    if (trim($message) === '') {
        $msgMessage = 'Gelieve een boodschap in te voeren';
        $allOk = false;
    }

    // end of form check. If $allOk still is true, then the form was sent in correctly
    if ($allOk) {
        // build & execute prepared statement
        $stmt = $db->prepare('INSERT INTO messages (sender, message, found, added_on) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)');
        $stmt->execute(array($name, $message, $found, (new DateTime())->format('Y-m-d H:i:s')));

        // the query succeeded, redirect to this very same page
        if ($db->lastInsertId() !== 0) {
            header('Location: formchecking_thanks.php?name=' . urlencode($name));
            exit();
        } // the query failed
        else {
            echo 'Databankfout.';
            exit;
        }

    }

}
